Would you like to develop more reliable software that delivers on all its requirements? Want to learn how to improve your testing so that no more bugs slip through? Maybe you’re eager to hear tips and tricks from some of the top minds in testing?

Then come to the London Tester Gathering Workshops for practical workshops on everything from debugging to security testing, featuring host of the London Tester Gathering Tony Bruce, senior SDET Lead at Microsoft Martin Hall, and Guardian Test Consultant Marton Meszaros - they’ll all be sharing their experience and skills with you so you can learn better ways to test your code!

Beyond the book

Their insights and practical sessions will help you design software that’s on time, on budget, and satisfies your clients’ needs - you’ll soon be seeing the benefit after advancing your skills at this in-depth event. These are advantages you can’t get in the manual!

Fantastic Topics

You can learn how to debug, test and hack JavaScript web applications with Carlos Ble, be guided through HTTP proxies with Alan Richardson (the ‘Evil Tester’), or find out how to target and eliminate bugs in your code with Martin Hall.

Wonderful Community

On top of all of this, you’ll be able to enjoy learning new things with a hundred other testers, so you can share ideas, hear their perspectives, and find new solutions to your problems; you could even discover new potential business partners!

Excited? Share it!

In this half day workshop we will begin to explore some of the tools and concepts around security testing for mobile applications.

In this half day workshop we will begin to explore some of the tools and concepts around security testing for mobile applications. We'll focus on Android apps but the ideas are transferable to any mobile platform. By the end of the workshop you will have a basic security testing tool kit and practical experience of using these to test for common security issues. As this is a practical workshop so you'll need a laptop and the ability to install tools.

Bill has been a freelance test consultant for 15 years working mainly on large migration and integration projects as a Test Architect, Manager and Technical Tester. He spends much of his time focusing on the more technical elements of system and operational testing such as integration, performance and security.

James Lyndsay, Steve Green, Alan Richardson and Tony Bruce have joined forces to bring you Black Ops Testing: A practical testing workshop.

We'll be focusing on scouting, intrusion and extraction. Or, if you don't like military metaphors: Thinking, Exploration, Diagnosis
Either way, this will be a testing workshop like no other.
Join our crack team of testers.

An experienced software testing professional (Test Manager, Test Lead and Test Analyst), who has produced practical and innovative software quality solutions for clients in a diverse range of industries.

Tony Bruce is a professional, experienced, constantly learning, coaching and teaching agile team member who specialises in Testing. He has worked in various industries with organisations such as Channel 4, Ernst & Young, LMAX and The Children’s Society.

Please be advised that laptops will be required for this hands-on session.

Carlos started using computers at 6, when his father bought a PC with the Intel 8086 and some books on the Basic programming language. Since then, he has been learning how machines can be used to build a better world.

In this workshop we'll learn about a pattern that could enable looser coupling between steps, cleaner step definition code, happiness and many more.

There are many patterns on the internet about how to implement feature files. There are even many blog posts that teach us how to improve the style of our scenarios by raising the level of abstraction. Even when following those practices, we often end up with unmaintainable code, brittle tests and frustration.

We are going to explore another step towards a state where the tool doesn't interfere with capturing the conversations by constraining the language we use. We'll learn about a pattern that could enable looser coupling between steps, cleaner step definition code, happiness and many more.

Prerequisites

Please have a laptop with Java (1.6+), Maven and your favourite IDE installed on it.

Ensure your laptop can connect to the internet

Have 2 twitter accounts you can use. (We will be not spamming, so you are safe to use your main account for one)

Martin Hall is a Senior SDET Lead at Microsoft (Skype Division) He has a real passion for and Dev/Test pairing, and uses this technique to get rid of mini waterfalls that can sometimes occur during agile sprints. Although not a professional securit

We will cover and go beyond the obvious interrogation and manipulation of traffic and also look at how to use auto-responders, custom rules and traffic generators. The different capabilities of the tools and how to use them in combination.

I test a lot of web applications. I use proxy servers to interrogate and manipulate web traffic, and the built in browser developer tools.

We will cover and go beyond the obvious interrogation and manipulation of traffic and look at how to use auto-responders, custom rules and traffic generators, as well as the different capabilities of the tools and how to use them in combination.

We will also look at the new features in modern browsers that help you achieve some of the proxy benefits out of the box, for those moments when you have to test unarmed.

As well as the tools, I want to cover the testing thought processes and models that help you apply the tools in your work.

Turn up with some modern browsers installed (Chrome, Firefox, Opera), a couple of proxy servers (BurpSuite, Fiddler, Zed Attack Proxy), possibly some plugins (Firebug), to maximize your time in the workshop.

Join Steve for a hands on accessibility testing workshop at #ltgw2013! In this session you will learn how to test websites with two assistive technologies - a screen reader and voice recognition software - to extend the scope of your accessibility testing beyond basic WCAG compliance.

Steve specialises in testing high-risk, high-profile web-based applications such as online banking, e-commerce websites, online gaming, e-learning and Facebook applications for large corporate clients in the UK, USA and Europe.
